The article discusses new approaches to economic relations between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, assesses the development of bilateral economic relations at the present stage, tells about the impact of new foreign policy initiatives of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev on bilateral relations. In the article, the author reveals a brief evolution of bilateral economic relations from the 2000s to the present. Comparing the policy of the first head of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov and the current President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the author described the level of development of Central Asian integration at this stage. The author believes that Kazakhstan's relations with Uzbekistan are always open and aimed at integration. However, as a result of Uzbekistan's excise policy pursued by Karimov, relations between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were of the nature of mutual understanding, friendship, and the volume of mutual trade developed slowly. For example, if in Karimov's leadership in the 2000s, the annual trade turnover of the two countries amounted to $ 295.4 million, then in 2021, under Mirziyoyev's initiative, four 4 months after Uzbekistan stopped applying excise taxes on transported goods, the bilateral trade turnover for January-April amounted to $ 1.2 billion. This is about 12 times more than in 2000. The author positively assesses not only the dynamics of bilateral trade turnover but also the bilateral joint project being implemented at the present stage, achievements in the transport and logistics sphere.

The article explores the current state and future scenario of the Chinese railway lines routes through Central Asia and Afghanistan taking into account the Taliban regime. Since ancient times, Central Asia has been a crossroad of trade routes, which in modern times largest geopolitical actors are trying to revive. The concept of the Silk Road, which a few decades ago lived only on the pages of history textbooks, firmly settled on the front pages of newspapers, in analytical reports and development strategies of the states of Central Asia. However, times have changed, and the countries of Central Asia are trying to work hard to get access to the seas. And the railways are of paramount importance in this process. Trading via railways is vital for landlocked Central Asian states and in its turn, the competition is high among them to negotiate with Beijing to invest in the project. Furthermore, China and Uzbekistan have a chance to deal with the railway extension to Pakistan and Iran through Afghanistan by negotiating with the Taliban administration.

The withdrawal of the international forces from Afghanistan will likely increase the role of Central Asian violent extremist groups in the production and transit of illicit goods to and from Afghanistan. While violent extremist groups will maintain the capacity to inspire and perhaps, even carry out limited attacks in Central Asian republics in the short to medium term, their capacity will be limited. Conversely, given the Taliban's control of the majority of Afghanistan, these same groups will play an increasingly important role in the multi-billion-dollar drug trade stemming from the country. The future of Afghanistan is still far from decided but Central Asian violent extremist organizations will likely play a role in whatever is to come.

In contemporary world achieving real progress in solving global and regional security problems without confidence-building measures and cooperation is an almost infeasible. In this regard, effective security architecture in Asia can only show its effectiveness with the joint efforts of all stakeholders. The article examines in detail the activities of the CICA in each individual region, as well as analyzes the possibilities of strengthening the connectivity between the members of the Forum. Besides, in order to further institutionalize and transform the CICA into a full-fledged organization, a number of ideas and proposals are presented that will give it a new impetus and relevance in the international arena.

This article presents a chronological overview of Kazakh-American relation dynamics in the period of G. Bush Jr. and Obama’s administrations – periods with principally varying perspectives on the region including Kazakhstan. The authors have aimed at showcasing the change in the priorities of the American foreign policy in relation to Kazakhstan – from a partner in war against terrorism, joint oil projects to the role of a transitionary state between the U.S. and Afghanistan. At the same time, it is not appropriate to claim that Kazakhstan was merely participating in bilateral relations. The authors highlight dividends that Kazakhstan received as a result of collaborating with Washington.
